That’s why our sauces use only fresh ingredients. Hence, the “fresh” in Fresh Zen.
As a mother of four with a demanding work schedule, I felt as though there weren’t enough hours in the day to prepare a healthy, delicious meal for my family every night. That's when I found myself returning to these simple, versatile sauces inspired by generations of my family's Chinese cooking traditions. They made cooking easier, helping me prepare fresh, flavorful meals without sacrificing quality or taste. Those sauces inspired Fresh Zen: a line of clean, ready-to-use Asian-inspired sauces that help busy home cooks create fresh, flavorful meals with ease. Our mission is to make wholesome, everyday cooking more approachable by combining bold flavors, simple ingredients, and effortless convenience in every jar.
Fresh Zen combines bold Asian-inspired flavors with clean, thoughtfully sourced ingredients.

Separation is natural because we don’t use any artificial stabilizers or gums. Just give it a stir to mix it up in the bottle, and you're good to go!
We use glass jars to help preserve the freshness and flavor of our sauces while offering a fully recyclable packaging option. Unlike some plastics, glass won't leach chemicals into your food, making it a safe and sustainable choice.
